Original story by Lucy Maud Montgomery
AKAGE NO ANNE
Hizume no oto
A carriage goes through the gentle hills
Yuruyakana oka wo nutte
Kaketekuru basha
Someone comes to pick me up
Mukae ni kuru no mukae ni kuru no ne
And takes me
Dare ka ga
Watashi wo tsureteyuku no ne
Shiroi hana no michi he
To the avenue with white flowers
To the home of wind
Kaze no furusato he
He takes me
Tsureteyuku no ne
I'm sure
Tsureteyuku no ne
The Future of the Story Club
Anne enjoyed her Summer wholeheartedly.
She and Diana fairly lived outdoors.
They walked, rowed, berried, and dreamed to their heart's content.
Marilla obeyed the doctor and offered no objections to Anne's gypsyings.
One evening,
Mr. Barry took Diana and Anne to White Sand's Hotel.
They went there to have dinner.
The hotel was filled with many tourists from America
and the hall was brightly decorated with the newly invented electric lights.
Then one day, just as the Summer holidays were coming to an end...
Idlewild was a beautiful ring of white birch trees where Anne and Diana
had played for the first time after they became good friends.
They were shocked after seeing
how the place where they haven't been for so long had changed.
Is this Idlewild?
I can't belive this.
Our wonderful memories have become such a sorry sight.
Nostalgic memories of that time came to their minds
and both of them sat down and wept.
The tears carried sweetness and sadness of their childhood memories.
On the last day of her Summer holidays, Anne went to the attic
to get her school books from the old trunk
and she missed them so much that she talked to them.
You good old friends, I'm glad to see your honest faces once more.
Yes, even you, geometry.
Marilla, I've had a perfectly beautiful summer.
You've regain your health, Anne.
I feel just like studying with might and main.
Look, I've already got them back.
Wish me luck!
I'm going!
Anne, hurry, hurry!
Good morning, Diana, Minnie May!
Minnie May, that really suits you.
You're now a Year One student.
Work hard.
Yes.
Look, it's my lunch.
I'm already hungry. I'll eat it right now.
Oh! Minnie May, you're supposed to eat it with the others in school.
Understood?
Then, let's go Minnie May.
Yes.
Alright, Minnie May, put yours too.
Yes.
Miss Stacy was glad to find all her pupils eager for work once more.
Especially did the Queen's class gird up their loins for the fray.
And the rivalry between Anne and Gilbert has become more intense than ever.
Anne Shirley, come to the blackboard and answer the next question, please.
Yes.
Do you know what time it is?
You mustn't overwork yourself.
Marilla, I keep thinking about Gil...
...about the others who are still studying at this hour and I can't sleep.
My, my.
Don't oversleep and go out without having time to wash the dishes again tomorrow.
I know, Marilla. I'll go to sleep soon.
Well, goodnight.
Goodnight.
Anne!
What's the matter, Marilla?
Anne, come down and help me pick apples.
Yes, all right.
It's good to have a change sometimes.
You're right, Marilla, I feel great now.
It's good that you take your studies seriously
but you have to watch your health too.
If you get sick, you won't be able to attend school and all your work will be for naught.
Don't worry, Marilla.
I've stored lots of energy during the summer holidays.
I couldn't be healthier.
Marilla was always worried about Anne's health.
But never mentioned to her about her own head aches and Matthew's heart problems.
Matthew, smoking is bad for the health. Don't you know that?
Don't worry about that.
And the doctor also advised you not to work so hard.
Don't work too hard.
All right.
Maybe we should hire another boy to help pick the potatoes.
Well now...
I'll think about it.
My heart it's not the only problem, Marilla. You should take your headaches seriously.
I'll go for a check-up one of this days. We're getting old. We have to be careful.
That's true.
Thank goodness! We did it!
I did it!
No. It's not there.
My name's not on it.
It was just a dream. Thank goodness!
Anne dreamed about the school results.
Gilbert's name was printed in first place
and Anne couldn't find her name anywhere.
It was just a dream but for Anne was a horrifying nightmare.
Good morning, Anne.
Good morning.
Is there something wrong, Anne? You look pale.
It's nothing.
Anne, I'm going to Carmody today to buy some things.
Is that so?
Today it's my turn to hold the Story Club meeting.
Alright. You can treat your guests with the cake you baked yesterday.
All right.
The Story Club was formed a year and a half ago.
They came up with the idea when they had to write a story for school.
Diana, Ruby and Jane, lost all interest in writing stories,
but they liked the excuse to get everyone together,
and so the Story Club persisted.
Especially, Diana. For since the Queens Class was formed,
she hardly got to chat with the three friends.
So she always looked forward to the tea gathering held once a month.
Diana is so late.
Yes, she is.
Say, what if we cancel today's session?
I want to prepare for history class.
Oh, but didn't you want to discuss with Diana about the brooch for your new clothes?
That's right. It's not nice if we don't wait for Diana to come.
But History is my worst subject.
I'm not in the mood to waste time here chatting.
Ruby, are you saying that we should quit the Story Club?
Y-yes.
I don't feel like writing stories. No one here has written one recently too.
All we do is sit and chat. It's quite meaningless.
Jane, what about you?
Do you also think we should quit?
Well, I don't really care about the Story Club.
But it would be a pity if we don't even get a chance to have tea and talk about girls' stuff.
Of course I feel the same way.
But lately I've been feeling uneasy whenever I help doing housework.
I keep thinking of my studies and feel that I don't have time for such matters.
And when I sit in class, I'm tired and I want to get out to go to bed as soon as possible.
Ruby, that's exactly what I feel.
Sometimes I worry that I won't be able to pass the exam
and I get so nervous that I can't even sleep at night.
Anne wouldn't understand how we feel.
Oh, that's not true.
This morning I had a nightmare in which I had failed.
And all of you got in. Only my name wasn't on it.
Impossible!
It's true.
If you couldn't get in, we would be even worse.
Don't you think so, Jane?
Of course.
But if Anne worries about it too, I feel a little better.
Of course I do.
Can we stop talking about exams?
It's making me uncomfortable.
It's all because Diana didn't turn up.
Because if she was here, we wouldn't be talking about this.
That's true.
It's a pity that she decided not to go to Queens.
Oh, but I tell everything to Diana about the exams as well as other matters.
That's because Diana and you are best friends.
Diana is really late.
I'm going home.
We don't have so much free time like her.
That's true.
Then I'll go home too.
Wait!
I have nothing to say if you want to quit the Story Club
but it's not fair to decide on it without Diana.
That's quite true.
I'll get Diana. Wait just a little.
Oh, Diana, you're here?
We were waiting for you, Diana. Where were you?
You'll be fined for being late.
What's wrong, Diana? Has something happened at home?
Stop pretending.
I heard everything you said.
I didn't mean to eavesdrop.
I just wanted to play a trick on you.
But I couldn't help getting upset as I listened.
And then...
Diana...
I'm different from all of you.
While all of you are busy over exams, I'm the only one getting lonely.
I really like this club. I didn't want to be late.
But... but... my singing teacher came to visit.
I didn't want to keep you waiting so I sent her off hurriedly.
But now this club will end.
That's not true, Diana.
Enough!
I don't want to interrupt your studies.
I now realize that those days
we used to write about love, murder, dreams and other matters are over.
Isn't that right, Anne?
It's no use to carry on with the club for formality's sake.
Ruby is right.
It's meaningless.
Diana.
I'm sorry, Diana!
Marilla, when did you come back?
I called you but you didn't reply. I thought you were walking Diana home.
And the tea?
I've got it ready.
I'm sorry.
Please, go tell Matthew that the tea is ready.
Marilla...
Are you surprised?
Yes...
It looks strange?
No.
It feels a bit uncomfortable in this part.
You'll get used to it.
Today I went to Doctor Spencer in Carmody.
He said I may be getting headaches because of my eyesight.
It'll be a blessing if the migrane can be cured just like that.
I'll go get Matthew.
Anne feels that she has matured somehow today.
Spring visits Green Gables again.
Marilla senses Anne's growth and can't help feeling lonely.
